Abstract
This research is a development of the biomass pellets power generation system by using gasification technology. This system consisted of a screws conveyer transporting fuel into the gasifier stove. Motor vibration to deal with the cavity of fuel that occurs inside the gasifier stove and control cabinets in the system for ease of use and to ensure safety. The system can produce producer gas continuously because they can refuel without stopping the system. The experiment use biomass pellets to testing system because it’s easy
to transport fuel into gasifier stove. High energy and low humidity. The experiment is burning biomass pellets in a gasifier stove to produce producer gas. Used 20-liter biomass pellet can produce producer gas for about 40 minutes. The cavity of fuel sole by vibrate the stove every 10 minutes. When fuel is exhausted, new fuel is fed into the gasifier by screw conveyor. The system is able to continuously supply producer gas to the generator engine. The generator can supply a maximum power of 590 watts to load.
